ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS), different plaque types, i.e. lipidic (LP), fibrous (FP), and calcific (CP), could have different hemodynamic and structural behaviors.METHODS:
Different carotid plaques, reconstructed from medical imaging of ACS >70%, were analyzed by computing fluid structure interaction (FSI), modeling the spatial distribution of wall shear stresses (WSS), plaque displacements (D), von Mises stresses (VMS), and absorbed elastic energy (AEE) together with their maximum-in-space values at the systole (WSSRESULTS:
WSS resulted significantly higher in CP, whereas D and VMS showed the highest values for LP. Regarding AEECONCLUSIONS:
Depending upon their nature, plaques store different deformations and inner distributions of forces, thus potentially influencing their vulnerability.
